This was pretty yummy but not as creamy as I would have liked. You really do need to double bag. Mine had a hole in it and dripped into the second bag. You could have a very interesting version of hot potato with this. (Or cold potato.) A fun activity for a really loooooong day in August.

    This is so easy and delicious!! I used regular ice as it was all I had but I think that crushed ice would definitely work better. I used sea salt just in case I got any in the small bag (unfortunately I did when I was opening it). Also my recommendation is to double bag, double bag, double bag!! :D I would use a plastic grocery bag to cover the ziplock one as I ended up getting some water leakage and also I would use a plastic sandwich bag around the small ziplock bag to prevent salt to getting by the zipper. Anyways I will be making this a lot as we have a lot of half and half. Thanks for this great recipe!

    Made this with the kids for my daughter's birthday party! It was fun for the kids to make their own ice cream! While using half and half will give you a very creamy product it is possible to make this with plain milk as well. I also just used plain table salt and it worked just fine. We used a mixture of ice and snow from outside as her party theme was a "Winter Party". A really fun thing do do with the kids and I always have these ingredients on hand too. Thanks for this great activity!

    5 stars for ease of preparation and 5 more for the fun and fascination we had making this recipe. I made it twice: once with plain fresh milk and the other with half-and-half. I prefer the latter. Gonna put some rum soaked raisins in the baggie when I get a chance to. Had a bit of salty ice cream and to avoid getting any more, I'd put the sealed bag with the milk into another similar bag, seal or tie up that bag and then put it into the bag with ice. When ice cream is done, I'd just remove the innermost bag and wallah! Sweet ice cream. This is definitely a keeper!
